What was unique was being charged £80 for a squat. This is a dilapidated, dated and disgusting hotel with mould on the shower head that was most likely a health hazard.

Dumfries
I only stayed one night and the hotel was ok. The hotel is right next to the station (obviously) and a 20 minute or so walk into town. The room was a bit tired but clean, comfortable and I felt safe. The bathroom was clean and the shower powerful. On the top floor of an old building I was expecting less, so pleasantly surprised. There was a shelf in the shower and above the sink which I like and a full length mirror in the room too. There was an additional heater and a fan too to cover all eventualities. I had wifi but couldn't get internet. No idea why. My only issue was the hairdryer had a shortish cable and with the socket on the floor it wouldn't reach as far as I'd like. Breakfast was in the basement and was fine but I must mention that the scrambled eggs were really nice, light and not greasy which I often find. Overall, a reasonable 3 star for a reasonable price, ideal for an overnight in Dumfries.

The room smelled. Changed room and it also smelled. It was late at night so we stayed anyway, hard to sleep in a room that smells like the carpets haven't been changed in 30 years. All the taps and pipes were rusty and dilapidated. I wouldn't normally write a bad review of somewhere, but i'm sure there's another hotel in Dumfries you can spend your money with that has made an effort.

Short Break
Room was basic but OK for one person. Had breakfast on second day and it was plenty for me and well cooked. The bar was undergoing refurb but the staff were welcoming and helpful. Bistro was closed during weekdays so had to go out for food. Location excellent for exploring town

Being refurbished, lovely new rooms.
This hotel is being reburbed so there is no resturant....I had a newly decorated room, which was lovely. Across from the train station so really convenient and easy to walk into the centre.

Twin room booked for one night at very short notice, advertised as last room of this type available. Hotel (with complimentary parking) was easy to find and reception staff were friendly and courteous. Room, en-suite shower room and linen/towels were clean, however the physical condition of the room was in poor repair. The surface mounting box for the power sockets behind the single bedside cabinet was broken, resulting in the socket plate being unattached to the box and the internal wiring open/accessible. The sockets were still operational. The light above the dressing table did not operate, as there was no pull-cord attached. The inner door handle on the room door was not secured, and slipped off the operating bar. The wall and ceiling paper in en-suite shower room was peeling off the walls and the cold water tap could not be shut off fully. The main power socket and door handle issues were reported to reception during check-out. On the plus side, the room and property were well heated and the included breakfast was good with both meat and vegetarian choices.

The hotel staff could not be faulted in any aspect of our stay. Our complaint was the condition of the bathroom. The shower screen had green mould all along the edges and the area around the taps was black mould. This could easily have been cleaned. We have stayed in this hotel on previous occasions but were disappointed with its condition this time.
